"I would not recommend this restaurant. First, we ordered drinks, and both the beer and cola were incredibly flat. We paid £5 for a "Poppadom Basket," which I suspect came straight from a Marks & Spencer package. I've had poppadoms many times, and these were small, crisp-like snacks rather than the usual round ones. As for the flavors, they tasted bland, and the hottest curry lacked any heat. One person in our party requested that his curry be made spicy, but that clearly didn’t happen. We also ordered the garlic and chili naan, but it had no chili at all and was just garlic bread. Finally, when we booked the table, there was supposed to be a 25% discount on food, which was only applied after we mentioned it."

As for the main dishes, they tasted like they had been pulled straight from a jar, and the spiciest curry lacked any real heat. One person in our group specifically requested a hot version of their curry when ordering, but unfortunately that request was ignored. We also ordered the garlic and chilli naan, but it arrived without any chili—it was simply garlic bread. Lastly, when we booked our table, it was advertised that we would receive 25% off our food, but this discount wasn't applied to our bill until we brought it up.
